Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 87 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 56% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Colorado Springs market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $280
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $940
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,480
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope it all works out, Danielle. Your post was clear and honest
Sending love, Danielle. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Danielle. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Colorado Springs
your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Patras.
